Chapter 417 Extra Welfare Chapter Deep Palace Empress & Beautiful Male Luthier (13)

An Xi didn't respond to his words, she sat down at the nearby table a little tired, and looked at the man in front of her with a smile: "The emperor intends to let Chang Le go to marry him?"

Yun Qian was stunned for a moment, wondering why she received the news just after she finished talking with Chang Le about this matter.

Kings are bound to be suspicious.An Xi looked at his somewhat surprised face, lowered her eyes and explained: "On the way here just now, Aijia happened to meet her."

"The queen mother should not take care of this matter, I have made up my mind." The man said.

Seeing this, An Xi didn't continue to mention the matter.She had always been at odds with Changle, but now she is willing to say a word or two for her, it is not in vain to agree to her.

It's just that now it's not that she doesn't want to persuade Yun Qian anymore, but that Yun Qian's appearance of giving up her mind makes her unable to persuade her at all.

"Forget it, Ai's family still has something to do, so let's go first." An Xi got up, and left if she didn't want to stay longer.

Yun Qian looked at her slender back, and when she was about to speak, she saw the woman turn her head and smiled: "By the way, rose porridge tomorrow, do you want honey?"

Yun Qian was dazzled by this smile.In the past two years since entering the palace, it is rare to see her like this.When she attended the banquet, she would also smile perfunctorily with others, but it was not from the bottom of her heart, her smile was unfriendly and cold.

It's different now, that smile really seems to be joy from the heart.The sweetness is as rich as rose cakes, floating in the temple and lingering.

A few seconds later, the man came back to his senses, smiled and nodded, "Okay."

...

After An Xi left, the old eunuch who was guarding outside the hall came in.After seeing the plate of rose cakes on the table, he subconsciously took out a silver needle from his belt to test the poison.

In the end, Yun Qian stretched out her hand to stop her: "No need, even if it's poisonous, it's worth it."

"Your Majesty, you say this, and the servant is terrified." The old eunuch knelt down on the ground subconsciously.

Yun Qian smiled and shook her head, but didn't gnaw any more.He closed his eyes and stood in front of the window where the afterglow of the setting sun was shining.Quietly sniffing the aroma of the plate of rose cakes, as if she was still in this room.

...

When An Xi and Yuan Yuan returned to the palace, He Gong was moving to the palace.Looking at the busy figures of the palace people, Yuan Yuan sighed with some emotion: "Your Majesty, you are really the youngest empress dowager in history, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

As soon as the words came out, Yuan Yuan suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and stretched out his hands to cover his mouth in embarrassment.With round eyes, she looked at An Xi like a frightened deer.

Knowing that she was tired of living in this deep palace, like being imprisoned, he still kept his mouth open.

"Your maidservant didn't do it on purpose... Madam, forgive me..." Yuan Yuan was about to kneel on the ground subconsciously when he came back to his senses.

An Xi interrupted her kneeling motion with a smile, and pulled the maid's bun on her head: "It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

Yuan Yuan smiled embarrassedly when he met Shang An Xi's gaze.Just as I was about to speak, I heard a gentle male voice:

"The disaster, of course, can be avoided."

Yuan Yuan looked up beforehand, and when he saw Xu Xing in eunuch uniform, he rolled his eyes angrily: "Hey, you're not going to move things, why are you being lazy here?"

Xu Xing pretended to be helpless and sighed angrily: "Oh, I suddenly want to take someone somewhere, I don't know if that person is willing or not."

"What about that person, please speak clearly." Yuan Yuan rolled his eyes again.

Xu Xing didn't know how he provoked this little girl.When we first met before Mingming, I saw her face full of envy and reverence.Why are you yelling at yourself more and more now?

Alas, the desolate phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken, and the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.

The man was so stunned that he had nothing to say, and An Xi, who was watching the bickering scene between the two, suddenly felt a little funny.She covered her red lips lightly, called Yuan Yuan's name in a low voice, and signaled her not to speak any more.

Yuan Yuan has been with An Xi for a long time, and he knew what An Xi was thinking from the day An Xi entered the palace.

Seeing An Xi like this, she obediently shut her mouth.Then he walked away with eyesight.

Rolling up his sleeves while running, he shouted to the little eunuch in the distance who was struggling and unable to lift: "Let me go!"

The little eunuch looked at the aunt in charge who was striding towards him with a dazed expression, thinking that with her small body... can she do it? ? ?
So while An Xi and Xu Xing were talking, the little maid wearing a palace maid's costume generously walked around the carriage on one side with a wooden cabinet on her shoulders.The little eunuch who had just struggled to lift the cabinet looked at her in shock, with awe in his heart.

No wonder she was able to become the aunt in charge at such a young age... It turned out that she was so born with supernatural powers!
...

In the distance, the two exchanged a few words and left together.Yuan Yuan looked at the backs of the man and woman walking side by side, and patted his head somewhat in a fog.

Then I continued to do physical work without thinking about it.

Xu Xing took An Xi to a place, a corner of Langfang in the palace garden.It seems that someone has arranged it carefully and moved a large piece of roses there.

An Xi was lying beside Langfang, fiddled with the roses with a round fan, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and couldn't help but look at the man: "Did you arrange it?"

"Otherwise?" The man asked back with a smile, his affectionate eyes were full of smiles, and the narrowing of them was really charming.

An Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his cynical appearance, and continued to look at the field of flowers, smiling without saying a word.

Today, she is really happy.Since entering the palace, the happiest day is also the happiest day after my brother died.

She thought about it, and suddenly thought of her brother planting roses for her in that lonely border town.

She loves roses the most, they are fragrant but not ostentatious, enchanting but self-proclaimed noble.Although it is not as beautiful and heavenly as the peony, it is not like the lotus, which is clear and not demonic.However, she will use thorns to protect herself.

That's how her brother often taught her.

When she was eight years old, her elder brother took her to the outside of the Great Wall, and often held her in the afternoon and sat on the rocking chair in front of the tavern, chatting: "Our Xi'er is so beautiful, just like a flower. However, my elder brother hopes that you are a rose."

"Why roses?" The little girl asked cutely.

At that time, the handsome and somewhat vicissitudes of life will pinch her little nose dotingly: "Because roses have thorns, they won't let bad guys get close easily. I hope we, Xi'er, can take good care of ourselves in the future."

...

"Rose has thorns, so you can protect yourself well." The woman murmured to herself with some emotion as she recalled.

"You just need to be a flower, and I will be your thorn in the future to protect you."

The voice mixed with laughter made the woman stunned.An Xi looked at the man in front of her with a dull expression.

"What's the matter? Are you too moved?" Xu Xing smiled, and subconsciously reached out to touch her head.But the woman suddenly came back to her senses and knocked her hand down.

"What a system."

The man shrugged his shoulders, looking a little unscrupulous: "Hahaha, okay, let's touch it after leaving the palace."

...

In the evening, when Xu Xing returned to the palace to rest, he opened the door and saw a man in black sitting on the table in his room, and two assassins dressed in Western countries.

He was slightly taken aback, then sat down at the table calmly.

"Why are you two here?" He asked casually, and reached out to pick up the cup of still warm tea in front of him.

Before the teacup was close to his lips, an assassin dressed in a foreign country said angrily:

"Xu Xing, what do you mean? It was agreed in advance to cooperate with us to force the palace, and then we will share the city. Now we are actually asked to propose marriage."

The other assassin was aggressive, not to be outdone: "Don't think we don't know what you're doing, you've been in close contact with that demon queen, are you bewitched by her?"

The man in black who he saw often didn't say a word, nor did he speak for his master, he just lowered his head silently.

Xu Xing sneered, and looked sideways at the man in black: "That's what you want to say, Jian Yang."

The man in black called Jian Yang took off his mask, revealing a handsome face no less than that of Xu Xing.His tone is still respectful, but with a bit of earnest advice: "Young master, I know you don't want to hear it. But before the big picture, the love between children and daughters should be..."

Before he could finish a sentence, he was interrupted by Xu Xing.Xu Xing smiled, and drank the tea in his hand: "You grew up with me, and you know my dream of home and country. In my life, my greatest wish is to see the people live in peace and the countries prosper."

"Don't worry, both of you. Everything will go according to my plan, and the benefits of Xiguo will definitely not be lost by then." Xu Xing looked at the other two people

The two people dressed as foreign assassins looked at each other and nodded. After exchanging glances, they looked at Xu Xing in confidence: "Then we can rest assured."

The two assassins left, Jian Yang looked at Xu Xing, frowned suspiciously and asked, "You really didn't treat that woman..."

Xu Xing was obviously a little angry, and also frowned to interrupt him: "That woman, to me, is just a pawn."

Neither of them spoke again.Xu Xing poured a cup of tea for Jian Yang with a somewhat indifferent face, and then filled the cup in front of him.After thinking for a few seconds with some emotion, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, breaking the quiet and awkward atmosphere.

"My mother never concealed my identity. You know, I'm the illegitimate child of that man who flirted overnight."

"My mother hates him, hates him for being the king of a country in vain, and uses her power to force her to commit herself to him."

"She always taught me that if there is a future, Yunxiao will pay the price."

"But I always think that I am the heir of the emperor, and I want to bring to justice those evil officials who harm others and themselves, have no law of the king, and treat the people harshly."

"When the wings were not full, Yunxiao died. Now, it's not about the revenge of my mother's abuse, but about the dream of my homeland."

"There is no comparison between women and the great cause that has been painstakingly managed for more than ten years."

As Xu Xing said, there was a little helplessness between his handsome brows unconsciously.He sighed softly, and before the man in black could speak, he issued an order to evict the guests: "You go, the plan for the day after tomorrow will proceed as usual. At that time, notify the Xiguo welcoming team and stop the sending team from Changle."

Jian Yang responded, turned over, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

The man was left sitting alone at the table, thinking about the old things, substituting tea for wine, causing melancholy.

...

More than 20 years ago,
Because of Xu Xing's grandfather, Xu Wei retired and returned home.There was no one in the court music workshop, and Xu Xing's mother, Xu Ling, inherited her father's mantle and entered the palace as a musician.

At that time, two generations of the Xu family had been court musicians. Although they were not official positions, they were deeply respected by others in the court.

On that day, the musician went to the palace to have an audience.The emperor, who was over half a century old, looked at the gentle and graceful beauty of Yunyan, and felt itchy for a while, and was a little bit dazzled by lust.

"Xu Ling, pay homage to the Holy Majesty." The woman wore a white robe with cloud patterns, walked slowly into the hall with lotus steps, and bowed with her pipa in her arms.

"Quickly get up." Yun Xiao quickly raised his hand, motioning for the woman to stand up.

Xu Ling stood up, and when she raised her eyes, her beautiful and heavenly appearance instantly overwhelmed the crowd. Those concubines with heavy makeup or who were already aged all of a sudden were overshadowed, and they all felt a little ashamed.Some people even sent jealous and envious eyes.

For many years, the emperor who has held an audition to see beauties can withstand such a glamorous visual impact.Immediately, she was seduced by someone, and secretly decided in her heart that she would bring this beauty into the harem.

"What a smart and well-behaved beauty, she really lives up to her name." The emperor smiled, and his appearance was very kind.He smiled, and stroked his beard.

The beauty from the south of the Yangtze River in the palace has a soft and boneless appearance, which makes people feel tender and pitiful.She bowed again and said, "Your Majesty's praise is too high."

The emperor liked her appearance as a humble little woman, and he was in a good mood immediately. He glanced at the pipa in her arms and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, I heard Xu Wei say that you are good at playing the pipa, so why not play a song for me?" I listen."

The woman should sit down and present a song after the palace man brings up the chair.

As soon as the song fell, the emperor applauded instantly and responded loudly.Even though the surrounding concubines were unwilling to compliment this woman, they still joined the emperor in cheering her on.

The emperor smiled gratifiedly and wanted to say something.Then I heard the woman say: "Your Majesty, this servant has just entered the palace and still has a lot of matters to ask the people in the music workshop. I beg you, this servant must hurry back to the music workshop now."

Yun Xiao was taken aback by her words.Although he was a little reluctant, he still complied.

After all, the future is long, and she is the head teacher of Lefang, so it is not difficult to call her by yourself.

...

That night, after Yunxiao went to bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his mind was full of the gentle appearance of a hundred-day Jiangnan misty rain beauty caressing her pipa.

He got up a little bored, and called the eunuch who was accompanying him: "Go to Lefang and call the woman named Xu Ling today."

The old eunuch smiled and bent down: "The emperor wants to listen to the music? But now, the musicians have all stopped." He said with some difficulty, hoping that the emperor would use this to take back his order.

Unexpectedly, Yun Xiao suddenly said capriciously: "Then call me too!"

He sat on the edge of the bed, full of dignity.

"Yes, the slave will go now." The old eunuch didn't dare to disobey, for fear of losing his head if he said something wrong again, he left in a panic.

After leaving the door, the little eunuch who was guarding the door hastily stopped and told: "Go to the music workshop and call Miss Xu Ling, and tell her that the emperor has insomnia, and ask her to play a piece of music."

The little eunuch took the order, nodded hurriedly and left.

...

Xu Ling has been busy at the music workshop all day and is familiar with things.Just about to take a rest at this moment, when he was getting dressed, a servant girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master Xu, the emperor sent you over."
